Mandatory alcolocks for all drivers returning from drink-driving bans
Drivers returning from a drink-drive ban must have an alcolock fitted to their vehicle as a licensing condition for a defined period (e.g. 24 months)
Periodic monitoring to ensure compliance
Government funding & incentives are explored to support the installation & administration of this system
Drink-driving remains one of the leading causes of serious injuries and fatalities on UK roads. While existing sanctions remove offenders from the road temporarily, there’s limited assurance that reoffending will not occur once they regain their license.
Studies & trials (across several European nations) have shown that using alcolocks significantly reduces reoffending rates.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
